Reviews

An up-to-date approach, representative range of authors and deft handling of theoretical aspects make this study of European security both user-friendly and authoritative. It portrays a continent of many institutions, yet one where challenges, responsibilities and outside perceptions are converging above all on the still evolving and (in security terms) ambivalent European Union. A rich and helpful source both for general readers and the educational world. Ambassador Alyson Bailes, University of Iceland This collection offers the first comprehensive analysis of European internal and external security dynamics. With contributions from some of the world's leading strategic analysts, the book is a must for all those interested in understanding European security and the EU's emerging profile on the international stage. Professor Jolyon Howorth, University of Yale
